Plans for a soccer stadium in Orlando necessary to attract an MLS franchise have hit a snag as Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs plans to inject $25 million in future tourist taxes into the construction of a second phase of a performing-arts center.

According to the
Orlando Sentinel, the initial funding outline for the $110 million soccer stadium includes the same $25 million from future tourist
taxes that Jacobs has pledged for the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts project. Tourist taxes are typically extra taxes on hotel bookings and are often used for a variety of economic
development projects.

Orlando City president Phil Rawlins, who has been spearheading the soccer stadium project, told the Orlando Sentinel that
there were many other options that could be considered.

Jacobs said she was not picking the arts over soccer.

"I was not going to be supportive of $25 million for the soccer
stadium whether we support [the arts center] or not," she said.

-- The Loudoun County (Va.) Board of Supervisors approved the request to build a privately financed facility in Ashburn
that will be the home of the NASL's Cavalry FC and baseball Loudoun Hounds in 2014.
